Arctic Ops Varus

Varus leaps from the rampart, a hail of arrows flying from his bow and freezing the ground beneath his victims. As they struggle to regroup, he draws a missile—circuits flashing along its spine—and lets fly. Thanks for the archer, High Command!

About Arctic Ops Varus

Arctic Ops Varus is a cold-weather military skin that transforms Varus into a tactical operative, outfitted with arctic gear, frosty effects, and a precision soldier aesthetic.

  • The design equips him with snow camouflage armor, a fur-trimmed cloak, tactical bow, and snow goggles for a battlefield-ready look.
  • Special features include icy VFX, frosty audio cues, snowy animations, and a recall where he calls in his strike team.
  • The skin is Epic tier (1350 RP), offering a complete model overhaul, custom spell visuals, and unique effects.
  • Arctic Ops Varus does not tie into his canonical lore, instead placing him in a standalone military-themed universe.
  • The skin is especially popular in pro play due to its clear visuals and straightforward readability in fights.
  • Additional features include frosted arrows, wintry aura effects, and tactical styling in chromas.
  • Fan reception is generally positive, though some note it feels dated compared to newer releases.
  • Noteworthy gameplay effects include glowing frost arrow trails, snowy impacts, and crisp skill shot clarity.
  • The splash art depicts Varus perched on a snowy ridge, bow drawn as a blizzard surrounds him.
  • Arctic Ops Varus remains a reliable and immersive choice for fans of tactical, military aesthetics in League.
